"I’ve stayed here numerous times and plan to keep it as my go-to hotel in Wellington. Other reviews have mentioned many of the hotel’s advantages, but as someone who doesn’t like elevators, I especially appreciate that I can book a room without the sometimes complicated task of securing a lower floor afterward—since the hotel only has 2 floors."

Oaks Wellington Hotel

Oaks Wellington Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The room (city view) was a great size for a couple with a nice big shower. The toilet was a little cramped against the toilet paper holder for a tall man but not a biggie. The buffet breakfast was delightful! We got really lucky and had Executive Chef Rajesh on breakfast shift and he made the best omlette we have ever tasted! Topped with parmesan cheese! The front counter staff were super friendly."
